Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds ground beef (80/20 for best results)
  • 1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if preferred)
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup ketchup or tomato sauce

Optional Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all ingredients so they are ready to use, ensuring a smooth and efficient cooking process.
  2. Mix the meatloaf ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, Lipton Onion Soup mix, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, and ketchup. Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are just incorporated, taking care not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  3. Shape and place in pan: Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan or shape it freeform on a baking sheet. Press gently to keep the loaf together while keeping it fluffy.
  4. Add topping: Spread a thin layer of ketchup or tomato sauce over the top of the meatloaf to keep it moist while baking and to create a tasty glaze.
  5. Bake: Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to lock in the juices.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and even cooking.
  • Do not overwork the meat mixture to avoid a dense, tough meatloaf.
  • Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure a safe and perfectly cooked meatloaf.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing to redistribute juices and keep it moist.
  • Experiment with toppings like barbecue sauce, mustard, or a glaze of brown sugar and ketchup for variety.
